To create an account, you must select a login name and password. You may not use a login name that is used by someone else, and your login name cannot be vulgar, or otherwise offensive, or be used in any way that violates the TOU. You may not provide false information during the registration process. You must provide truthful and accurate information in creating your account. You are solely responsible for all activity on your account and for the security of your computer system or related system. You may not reveal your password to other users. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account. This includes illegal or improper use by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account. Your account is at risk if you let someone use it inappropriately and your account in any of our Services is subject to termination if you or anyone using your account violates the TOU.

Paid Terms. For customers who sign up for and purchase any paid service plan or paid account associated for our Services, minor releases of some online enhancements are included free of charge with your paid service plan or paid account until the end of the initial term you select for your account.

Auto-Renewal Feature: If you select a plan with an automatic renewal convenience feature at the time of purchase you will receive renewal email notification at 60 and 30 days prior to the yearly anniversary date for the renewal of your paid listing service plan. Your auto-renew listing plan or account will continue in effect until you cancel it or we terminate it.

Please note that we reserve the right to charge the applicable agreed renewal fee for the listing service plan or paid account fee for your selected Service, to your credit/debit card or bank account in monthly increments. If your debit/credit card or bank account on file reaches its expiration date or is cancelled, removed or otherwise non-functional, your continued use of our Services constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing that debit/credit card or bank account and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. It is your responsibility to keep your contact and payment information current and updated.
